Usage in battles
The A-1H can perform well in battles at its tier, either as CAS with a whopping 30 250 LB bomb capacity, 228 FFAR rockets and 11 Mk. 77 Napalm bombs. It can also preform decently as a fighter due to the fact it has flares, which not only allows it to be used as a fighter, it can be used in higher tier battles.

History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
